Taurine
Taurine is one of the best amino acids to help improve muscle soreness because it helps to push glutamate conversion to GABA. This means you go from catabolic, to anabolic faster. The best way to use taurine is 2-5g after workouts and before bed. It is a calming amino acid, so don’t use too much if you train first thing in the AM. You need to make sure your diet consist of ample vitamin B6 and glutamine to get these benefits as well. Taurine is also a universal detoxifier used by the liver and helps cell membranes regulate electrolyte balance in vs. outside the cell. This means you can control the pH of your cells better. If you have trouble restoring pH balance in your body, taurine can be added to an alkalizing program between meals.
